If you want to have your own website, you need to purchase a domain name, (i.e. www.yourname.com) and sign up for a hosting service. When you first sign up with a hosting service they often give you a free domain name, so I would recommend choosing the host first and then see what deals they offer on domain names.
Here are some popular hosting services:
http://www.hostgator.com
http://www.godaddy.com
http://www.bluehost.com/
http://www.greengeeks.com/
There are many others available and it is good to do some research. Once you sign up with a company, they should send you the information to plug into the "Manage Sites" window in DreamWeaver. Remember your homepage needs to be called index.html and should be saved in your root folder. Then you upload your files just as we have been doing this semester.
